Diffident

Falling off track I fell asleep at the wheel
I heard the winners circle always eat what they kill
Going back and fourth on this highway I'll smoke a whole eighth nigga
I ain't getting sleep as it is
And I preach what I live, playing Lil Wayne and Kritical's
Fuck A Lane when I'm the reaching the crib
I teach and I give, amazed at the plays I giveaway
Every time I make a speech to the kids
You ain't at the cool table, don't think that we friends
I block out your energy you receive what you give
Lord I never think I gotta compete with my friends
What we all needed was just a beat and a pen
I started off sloppy but now I'm neat with the shit
Work a verse til it's perfect and feel complete with the shit
Hard work beat talent when talent don't work hard
Most of these niggas would rather cheat just to win
Stab in me the back and we ain't speaking again
Cause the loyalty the only thing I need in the end
I stuck to code so they seen what it is
Been stuntin' since I used to blow weed in the Benz
What prestige am I in? Other greats don't compare
I cigarillo shadowbox train in my lair
Get the money that I can while adjusting to fame
Man the game is game nobody claimed it was fair
A nigga used to hope for the best
Then I sat and realized that my goals needed steps
I been out of control and my soul needs a rest
See when I get in my zone niggas know I'm the threat
And when they played foul I ain't scold to the refs
Did a swift finger roll with the left that's my highlight reel
This girl asked how I been lately?
I'm just getting by my dear, in the meantime getting high

By myself
When you make plans without God he gon' laugh at you
I was getting lost tryna
Guide myself
Said a prayer and asked for the strength to remember who I was
Took time just to find myself
Mama told me trust nobody it's a hard knocked life
But I still had to try myself
I fell down but got out the dirt said I'll get it out the mud
Even if I grind by myself

When you make plans without God he gon' laugh at you
I was getting lost tryna
Guide myself
Said a prayer and asked for the strength to remember who I was
Took time just to find myself
Mama told me trust nobody it's a hard knocked life
But I still had to try myself
I fell down but got out the dirt and said
I'll get it out the mud even if I grind by myself

Each one teach one, I don't fold and I don't sweat when the heat comes
If they hating on me tell 'em get they dreams up
Obvious I'm doing something they could never think of
Keep the fake handshakes and the mean mugs
Niggas talk about you all day like it mean somethin'
Food for thought I'm thinking you starving or don't eat much
Silver platters I à la cart for your free lunch
I been known to follow my heart I don't freeze up
All my enemies getting smarter now they teamed up
It don't matter when I work harder I can break chains
I know they weak I just had to find out who the link was
You ain't got the stamina to reach us
You can a teach a nigga how to put his hands up
When his goals right there but he still won't reach for it
Pray to God, have faith, use resources
I'm remorseful, cause if I snap I hope that they remember all of you
You getting respect if you stab in me the chest
Yet aiming for the head would've been better torture
Well it seems to me I got the better fortune
Before you turn into dust feel the rigor mortis
We gotta embrace this, I call it my destiny
You gon try to stop me just feel important
Now listen, use your heart and not eyes
It's bout who got strongest mind, and watch my team we on the rise
Like Tony Hawk been on my grind
While tryna change my Ford into a Porsche
Don't wait to start, I want the prize I lapped your ass in overdrive
The trophy and them hoes is mine
I turned my course into a court
The first one in and the last to leave gym, all

By myself!
